If the last time I wrote was in January last year, then I probably haven’t had the opportunity to mention Jan. Jan is the woman to whom I have devoted myself this past year and then some. We met soon after I moved here when we were in a production of Volpone together, but we didn’t really get to know each other (wink wink) until we met again working on Brave New World. Let’s see… How to describe Jan? Ok, quick bio: 32 years old, originally from the north of England but considers Brighton her home, she’s an ex-gymnast, a dancer, actor, art buff, who loves cycling, dancing after downing a few beers, going to the films, and kicking my butt in backgammon. She has short ginger hair, a crooked chin, and gorgeous blue eyes. She’s thoughtful, impressively stubborn, strong, punctual to a fault, and somewhat spacey. But most importantly I love her. We’ve been together for about a year and a half now and life is good. Neither of us is thinking about leaving Barcelona any time soon so we’re just enjoying the ride. Currently, Jan has been spending much of her time here at my place taking good care of me seeing as though I wasn’t allowed to walk last month, but I’ll tell you all about that in a little bit.
